same object, share the same style and support "a strategy ... a common
institutional ... or political drift or pattern"' According to who?

Cousins and Hussain


The statements within a discursive formation need not all be the same. But
the relationships and differences between them must be
regular and systematic, not random. How is this system called by Foucalt?

System of dispersion: 'Whenever one can describe, between a number of
statements, such a system of dispersion, whenever ... one can define a
regularity ... [then] we will say ... that we are dealing with a discursive
formation'
